What it is
A classic cardio move: jump the feet out while the arms swing overhead, then jump back together. It warms up the whole body and raises the heart rate quickly. Stay light on the feet.
Technique tips
- Land softly on the balls of the feet
- Clap or touch the hands overhead
- Keep a steady rhythm
- Keep a slight bend in the knees
How to track your progress
